[No Romance | Female Lead Isn't Romance-Brained | Ensemble Cast and Character Growth | Esper Awakening | Disguise Setting | Post-Apocalyptic Cyberpunk World | High-IQ Mind Games]

Countdown: 24 hours. Complete the mission to stay alive!

Lu Jiu, formerly a special forces soldier from Blue Star, unexpectedly died of an illness during a mission. She thought her life had come to an end, but when she opened her eyes, she found herself in a cyberpunk world awash in neon. The electronic screen on her wrist flashed coldly:

[Countdown: 24:00:00]

[Mission failure = annihilation]

This is the Life Exchange. Death isn't the end, but the beginning. If you want to survive, you have to take on missions and earn more time.

Combat, murder, black markets, cybernetic enhancements, AI gangsters…

This world is crueler than the battlefield, but Lu Jiu has never feared death.

She survived among the ruins and fought her way through a hail of bullets.

This time, she won't wait for fate to decide her future. She'll take control of the ending herself.

The neon abyss has opened. The survival game has begun.

Since heaven has given me another chance, I'll play hard.

Since I'm neither a savior nor a chosen protagonist,

I'll stand outside the rules

using disguise as my blade, tearing open the System's loopholes, and rebooting civilization with my own hands.
